Artex removal in Bexley Riverside
Artex removal for Bexley Riverside properties
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. From loft conversions and structural work through coated ceilings, we cover Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Ceilings in Bexley Riverside conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
What we deal with in Bexley Riverside
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Textured walls before a refit
A school like Normandy Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Bexley Riverside: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Bexley Riverside homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Bexley Riverside despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Duty holders and landlords in Bexley Riverside
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bexley Riverside must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
